User Defined Data Type in C++ : Structure

Structures in C++

A structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths. Structures are declared in C++ using the following syntax:

struct structure_name
{
member_type1 member_name1;
member_type2 member_name2;
member_type3 member_name3;
:
:
} object_names;

example :

    struct product 
    {
     int weight;
   float price;
    } ;

product apple;
product banana, melon;
